Nearly every city and town in America has designated a historic district. It's a way of attracting tourists who don't know the area. Travelers like old stuff, unless it's in their garage sale. In The Villages' case, it's saying, "This is where it all began." Nothing wrong with it. We say our home is on the historic side, then say across the street from #4 green of the Silver Lake Golf course. That pretty well nails it for those who need directions. With the pond surrounded by #4, #5 and #6 greens, we get some interesting critters on our property, such as bats, snakes, hawks, fox, raccoons and the usual squirrels. Makes life interesting.
